Will there be a period of adjustment and how long will it be before I start feeling more “normal” at the lower dosage and timing. I did have difficult sleeping last night and am wondering whether the change in timing could affect my sleep as well?

It is good to see that you are trying different routines for your cortisol dosing. Most patients with Addison’s disease are also taking Florinef and this is the major factor in controlling blood pressure. It is important to be sure that you are on an adequate dose of Florinef. The best test for this is a plasma renin. This can be done through your family doctor or endocrinologist. The usual dose is 0.1 or 0.2 mg per day. If your dose of Florinef is not right, it is more difficult to regulate cortisol.
